Christian Principles Abandoned

August 26, 1985|By Peter M. Yore.

CHICAGO — I just finished reading the remarks of some pro-abortionists and Stephen Chapman`s pro-marijuana column in The Tribune, and those people really made me think. It seems that in our country today, anything goes. Liberals have taken over our schools and government agencies. My tax dollars are being used on projects that repulse me. When my children start school they will be exposed to ideas and people who are against everything that their mother and I stand for.

I hear people talking on the street and see them driving in their cars, and I wonder whether or not we should still call ourselves a civilized nation. Obscenity is rampant in our speech and in our entertainment industry. People with whom I would be ashamed to be associated with are national heroes and rich beyond my dreams.

Sex exists only for enjoyment with whomever you want to do it with of either sex. Television and movies tell me this is so. We have a whole generation of people who have been raised on welfare and who do not know what it is like to have a real father. Little regard is shown for human life or the rights of others. Garbage is left in our streets and parks by throngs of people every day. People make more money for doing less, especially if they work for a branch of our federal, state or local government.

I could go on to write a book about all of the things that displease me, but I think that my point is made. The people who founded this country on

Christian principles would be disgusted by the mess that we have made of their country.
